Sneak peek of theMajolica Majorca Summer '08 collection which is set to be released on 21 April in Japan. Powder Heat Metallic (1470yen) is a limited edition bronze shimmer face powder with four types of pearl and glitter powders, that I'm guessing is the summer version of the Snow Carat Powder that was released for Christmas '07. There will also be a new limited edition Lash Heat Mascara (1260yen), and some nail polishes in the collection.

Each year,Plaza Style, (formerly known as Sony Plaza), releases a line of top-selling makeup products from various brands in a limited edition packaging that is exclusive to Plaza Style stores. The new collection for Spring '08 features a pretty floral print that reminds me of Cath Kidston.
